The CEO of my former Fortune 500 company left his wife for one of the buyers. At one point, they broke up, she started dating a Vice President. He was fired, and they got back together.
She worked there for a few years after they got together. She'd run out of money to spend in her category, and a week later, finance would add a couple million, so she'd be OK.
I know of a student/teacher couple. Nothing was really done about it. Their relationship was a secret, but she (the student) had their baby the summer that she graduated. Sooo... obviously things were happening while they were still student/teacher. They're married now.

A second cousin (I think that's the relation) has a child with J. J ended up in jail (I dont have any idea why). Second cousin now is engaged to and has a child with J's brother. So her kids are half siblings as well as first cousins. Her son's step dad is also his uncle. I find it scandalous and bizarre.
I also know a family from a real, honest to God, Lifetime movie. The scandal took place back in the 90's. The mom was a country club wife who put everything she had into moving her husband'so career forward. Then he divorced her and remarried. The first wife kind of went all "how could you do this to me after I made you!" She snuck in and murdered her ex-H and wife while they were in bed. Their kids were pre-teens at the time. The ex-wife has been in jail ever since. My friend is now married to the son. They have a child of their own and I wonder all the time how they will explain where grandma is and what happened to grandpa. They can't hide the truth, once in a while I see the whole story, using real names, on Lifetime at 2am.
Be...tty Bro.derick ?!?!?! The best lifetime movies of all time!!
Yes, but please go back and delete or change the name in case they are ever googling themselves.
I just know it to mean "me too". I see it a lot on another board here. I don't really know the origins. I probably should not have used it without knowing. Sorry
Someone on SO once declared that all Indian men were more aggressive when it came to hitting on women because she had been hit on by 3 Indian men in the past. It sparked a big pile on and joke about how if THREE Indian men had done it, then it must be true about everyone from that culture.
We had good friends that were going thru a rough patch. Turns out the husband was having an affair with the wife's BFF. They divorced and now the husband is married to the BFF. The wife was devastated and ran off to Australia with some surfer dude. It was a real sad situation to watch unfold.
My grandfather Adam was married to my bio-grandmother Betty. Betty had a brother Charles married to Debbie. Adam and Betty had 3 kids (including my dad) and Charles and Debbie had one kid. Adam and Betty divorced and soon afterwards Charles and Debbie divorced. Charles became Cathy, Betty was in a mental institution, and Adam married Debbie. Cathy and Betty both removed themselves from their children's lives. So my dad's cousin became his brother and his aunt became his mother.
When I was in high school a girl in my class was dating her bus driver. He was her date to the "Harvest Moon". He had long straggly hair down to his waist and lots of facial hair, and they made out on the dance floor all night. How this was all good at my private, all-girls, Catholic high school, I don't know.
I suppose my parents had a slightly scandalous start to their relationship. They were both in grad school and she TA'd a class he was in. They claim that he didn't ask her out until the class was over, but by their own admission they began dating in November and were married the following August, so...
My sister's FIL was somehow involved in her MIL's legal team when she was divorcing her first husband. Even their kids don't know the whole story about that v

When I worked retail, my two managers had an affair. They were both married to other people, so they'd go to the crappy Motel 6 down the road from store.
My brother and I used to work together. It came out that he was cheating on his pregnant wife with our coworker. He left his wife for her, had a change of heart and came back after the baby was born, only to go back to the coworker when his daughter was a month old. He was a manager and promoted the girl to assistant manager. The would get in screaming matches in front of customers and then need to leave for hours to talk things over in his car. I got written up for telling the girl to fuck off. They both got fired later on for different reasons and broke up a couple of years later. He had not seen his daughter at all while they dated because it upset her.
My great grandfather up and left my great grandma for the much younger town librarian. He then proceeded to have kids and another family with said librarian in a small town while my great grandma went on to raise my grandma, her twin and another sister. I not sure when my great uncle passed in childhood. I think his death might have been a catalyst. Sometime in her adult life (around 70?) my grandma met her half siblings. They're no more than acquaintances. When the conversation veers to that man it gets weird. Such a passive acceptance of something that surely had to be painful:(
While I was in high school out church had a seminary student who took a relationship with the church organist. Before his internship was up, she was pregnant. Happily married with 4 kids;)
In other news, my grandmother was already engaged to the boy next door when my grandfather proposed to her (on a moonlit cruise of Lake Michigan, swoon). She told him as such and he went back to Alaska, where he was stationed for WWII, and sent her an enormous three-stone diamond ring. This left grandma conflicted. She asked her mom what to do, and my great-grandmother said "Marry Joe (That's grandpa), he's a good man." And so that was that.
Her fiancee promptly married her sister.
It made family gatherings a nightmare for the next, oh, 40 or 50 years. I really only met my great aunt and her adult children after both my grandmother and grandfather (and the fiancee/my great uncle) had been dead many years.
